A Catholic elementary school in Linz, Austria is forcing students to learn Islamic songs as they study the festival of Ramadan.

“We were on our way home when he suddenly started to sing ‘Allah, Allah’,” a shocked mother of one of the students says. He learned that at school and had to sing it. “It felt like a slap in my face!” she adds.

“Mom, we have to get involved. The teacher said: “If we do not do that, we’ll have to go to the director and then there’ll be a punishment,” the son reported in fear of his mother’s reprisals. For two months he had to rehearse the songs.

As the mother points out, she has no problem whatsoever with other students living out their religions. “I was only shocked that all the children had to join in,” she says, emotionally.

The mother said that she is fine with people practicing their own faith, including Islam, but she took issue with mandatory participation.

The Islamic religious teacher came to the children in the class and ordered the students to learn the appropriate Ramadan songs, because the whole class must celebrate this festival.

One website, Bare Naked Islam, suggests that the students aren’t learning songs at all, they’re learning prayers because Islam forbids music and dancing.

So, these children might be forced by their Catholic school to pray to Allah during Ramadan.

These are elementary school kids.

Wow, that’s kind of pushy, don’t you think?

Austria is facing a crisis as cultures are clashing.

There has been an influx of Islamic students into schools, many of whom believe that Shariah Law is superior to Western law.

Watch an Austrian teacher explain the difficulties that schools there are facing:

Well, Europe — it was nice while it lasted.

We’re really going to miss you.

Rules For Radical Christians is not a survival devotional designed to help the young Christian adult limp through life. Rather, it is a road-tested, dominion blueprint that will equip the young adult with leadership skills and sufficient motivation to rise to a place of influence in an overtly non-Christian culture. Rules For Radical Christians gives the reader the keys to become strategically equipped to move into an anti-theistic environment and effectively influence it for the glory of God.
